OK,

now I dd'ed the raw-image, made in vm-manager, onto my USB-stick and tried to 
boot my

thin-client from it, here is what I saw.

The yellow colour is real, I am not faking this, it's a defective monitor cable.

It does not matter much, my experience so far tells me that because of too tight

security-restrictions on Debian-Testing, the image would probably not

be usable anyway, i.e. no packages or software-updates would be installable, but

it normaly should boot up at least.

Hello again,

in order to exclude any hardware-failure, I retried GRUB-installation on BTRFS 
in KVM

with virt-manager, and it's no problem there, so it is USB-specific, I guess, 
see my

attached screenshots.

Greetings 

Andreas
